  Extending the Applications of 5V Powered RS232 Transceivers
  Design Note 14 High Speed Operation
  Although the EIA RS232 specification is for a relatively
  slow communications protocol, many applications
  require RS232 transceivers to operate at higher frequencies. Devices such as the LTВ®1080, LT1081, and the
  LT1130 series share a common design for the drivers
  and receivers and are capable of operating over 100
  kilobaud.
  Although the slew rate is controlled for all of the Linear
  Technology series of RS232 communications devices,
  for output levels limited to В±6V the transition time is
  fast enough to allow high baud rates. With a slew rate
  of approximately 10V per microsecond, it only takes
  1.2 microseconds for a 12V excursion. The two photos
  (Figure 1 and Figure 2) show the output waveform and
  delay associated with a 75kHz square wave input and a
  100kHz square wave. Delay times are in the order of 0.5
  microseconds and the total slew time is approximately 1.2 microseconds. Output load is 3k. Receivers are
  much faster and can handle these baud rates with no
  problem. For higher communication rates, a differential
  signal is recommended.

  New Developments in RS232 Interfaces
  Design Note 4
  Robert Dobkin
  New RS232 interface chips have been developed that
  offer significant advantages over older devices such
  as the 1488 and 1489. The new RS232 interface ICs
  improve speed, power, voltage supply requirements, and
  protection over older devices. Further, the new chips
  are easier to use, requiring fewer external components
  and may be turned off to a “zero” power supply current
  condition for use in battery powered systems.
  The new RS232 drivers are implemented in a monolithic
  bipolar technology. A unique output stage was designed
  that provides large output swings, minimizing power
  supply voltage requirements, while retaining outstanding overload protection features. The outputs can be
  driven beyond the power supply voltage without drawing excessive current or forcing current back into the
  power supplies. Of course, current limiting is included
  to protect against short circuit conditions.
  Initial consideration of technologies for implementing
  RS232 interfacing might include CMOS as a possible
  technology for this type of application. Power supply
  requirements are low, output voltage swing is high,
  and higher voltage CMOS technologies are available …
